Hunter Nelson recommends three supplements for truckers dealing with chronic pain and stress. Creatine speeds muscle recovery from long hours sitting; fish oil reduces joint inflammation; ashwagandha lowers stress hormones and protects testosterone levels that chronic stress depletes.
Trucking is an incredibly stressful industry. Creatine, it's not going to help you guys lose weight, but what it does is it stores water in your muscles, and so that way it helps you recover quicker. And so that might actually help with some of the pain. I mean, you guys are sitting down all day, you guys got a lot of back pain, everything on those lines, because the, the roads are bumpy, the chair is just shaking all day, it kills your muscles. And so, you know, even with me just sitting in my chair all day, obviously I'm not on the road, nothing on those lines, but I just get sore, it aches. So fish oil and creatine can actually help a lot with that stuff so that way you guys aren't aching all day. It's not so bad. Trucking is an incredibly stressful industry. Ashwagandha, having something along those lines can reduce your stress and boost your testosterone. It's just a stress reducer, and that's the number one factor what kills testosterone. And so having something like that is actually really helpful as well. These supplements are very, very good.
